I'm excited for this. Still don't like that they didnt include AUX and FM radio support. Otherwise seems like a great device. The camera especially has gotten a big improvement. I'm still rocking my Fairphone 3 and the camera on that has been pretty poor. I'm on vacation atm so I'm taking a lot of photos so the poor camera has been a sore spot for me.

While the price is steeper than before, I think they are making the right move by positioning themselves as a more premium product because they can't compete with the cheaper phone makers like Huawei and Xiaomi. If they can implement Klarna or something like that to make the higher price easier to manage, I think they could do great things here.

Still though, would like to see return of AUX, FM and maybe more support or even a full launch in US? Those are my wishes for them over the next few years tbh. I don't think asking for AUX and FM support is too much to ask at this price point. I know its not as popular or as cool, but should still be a fundamental part of what this device offers.

I noticed they listed Klarna as an option on their website

They could also buy it at a reseller that supports Klarna or similar.
